The California Fostering Connections to Success Act (AB12), which became law Jan. 1, 2012, is an attempt to provide a safety net for emancipated young adults. It extended the eligibility for foster care to 21. According to the AB12 website, the extension hopes to allow for a more secure and supervised environment for young adults and give them time to identify the needed educational and employment training opportunities. Though well-intended, problems persist. “Some judges see the promises embodied in AB12 as obligations to be earned rather than rights to be acknowledged,” said Brian Blalock, the conference organizer and director of Bay Area Legal Aid’s Youth Justice Project. “A young adult’s struggles, difficulty or even failure to comply with the responsibilities expected because of conditions like those noted above are not necessarily taken into consideration.”.

We, too, must act on behalf of peace,” said Obama, who like Mandela became the first black president of his country.

The last time a school bond measure failed was in the mid-1990s, Hubbard recalled. The school board was to meet on Wednesday to begin discussing the next steps. An aggressive campaign was waged against the measure. Opponents said they agree the theater needs work but said the proposed project was too costly, reduced seating capacity by 25 percent and did not address the major issues with the theater, including its low ceiling and poor acoustics. They maintained that the theater already mostly abides by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
